These Willie Mays numbers are astounding (yet still unsurprising). According to Elias, he’s the *only* player in MLB history to have simultaneously checked all of these boxes: ✅Have a lifetime batting average over .300 ✅Won at least 10 Gold Gloves ✅Hit at least 300 HRs

600+ HR 300+ SB 20+ All-Star selections 10+ Gold Gloves 4 HR in a game Multiple MVPs Rookie of the Year That's what Willie Mays did in his career. No other player in MLB history has accomplished more than 3 of the 7 feats on that list.

My office for the next four days is Hayward Field for the US Olympic Track and Field Trials!

Pinnacle moment on day one. Glad I could help my friend Sam Atkinson with some photos of Eric Gregory of Gallaudet Bison competing in his first Olympic T&F Trials. Keep an eye on this guy. He will be back!

ICYMI: Eric Gregory, who is deaf, became the first Gallaudet Bison student-athlete to compete at a U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Track & Field event He relied on visual signals from his coaches and infield technology to make his #TrackFieldTrials24 dream a reality #TrackTown24

A quick photo dump from my four days at #TrackTown24 #TrackFieldTrials24. It is always good to be inside Hayward Field.

Noah Lyles

According to World Athletics race analysis, Noah Lyles was seventh at 50 meters. In breakdown of every 10 meters, he never led until the last step. That's all he needed. #Paris2024

How close was tonight’s 100m finish? From the people OMEGA, the Olympics’ official timekeeper, it was *this* close.

Watching Mondo Duplantis vault will never get old. Amazing!

OH MY GOD. COLE HOCKER IS YOUR OLYMPIC CHAMPION. WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED. EPIC RACE. #Paris2024 #Olympics #Athletics

Go Ducks! What a race!

GOLDEN BOY: cole hocker etches his name among Indiana's greatest Olympians ever, writes David Woods. And Woodsy doesn't say that lightly. More: indystar.com/story/sports/o… 📷: @USATODAYSports

Totally geeked to see the pride of GNAC Sports, Marie-Eloise-Leclair of SFU Athletics, contribute to the Canadian record in the women's 4x100-relay at the The Olympic Games. The legend continues!

These three things you can count on in life: Death, taxes and the USA botching a relay exchange at the #olympics.

This is great for players, but at the same time many athletic departments are seeing critical support staff (communications, athletic training, facilities, etc.) leaving the business because the pay is not keeping up and the hours are not sustainable.
